Özet:

 


The Federal Capital Development Authority of Nigeria requested that an engineering geological
investigation of the proposed New Federal Capital City Site at 1: 25.000 scale be carried out for suitability purposes.
Mapping with conventional field methods alone proved to be insufficient due to the concealed
terrain conditions in the area. Two different scales (1: 40.000 and 1:10.000) of aerial photographs were used
which have revealed three main bedrock units and the entire structural framework of the area. Airphoto interpretation
data shows lithological banding running NNE — SSW and fractures developed mainly in NW — SE
and NE — SW directions. Through this information a major tectonic event has been inferred, resulting from a
principal stress acting WNW—ESE.The directional frequency and the length of fractures show variations according
to rock type. The metaigneous rocks gave high fracture density and frequency values, whereas metasedimentary
rocks yielded low values of the same parameters.
